• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are two key Bills which I want to request the Assistant Minister to address himself to because these two Bills have already been overtaken by events. These are the Bills that give effect to Section 217 of the Constitution in respect of the criteria of allocating funds to the counties; that is, the Division of Revenue Allocation Bill and the County Allocation Revenue Bill. These two Bills are the ones that the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) will rely on to give a criteria on how one county should get more money than another ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I have no problem with the Assistant Minister finding time to look at it but may I remind him that already in his Ministry, there is a Ministerial Statement pending which was asked in this House by myself on 8th May, 2012 in respect of these two Bills. This arose after there was an outcry by hon. Members, some for and others against, when the CRA decided to release the funds that it will give different counties. So could he say when he is going to respond to that ... view

• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Indeed, that is a very weighty issue that the hon. Member has just raised. As you consider to make a ruling, would I be in order to request that this report then should not be tabled until the Chair is satisfied as to the merits and demerits of what has been raised in the hon. Member’s point of order? I am saying this because as soon as this report is tabled, it becomes open to the public. So, if what we are tabling does not reflect what truly took place at the ... view

• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the same Article 221(2) reads as follows:- “The estimates referred to in Clause (1) shall- (a) include estimates for expenditure from the Equalization Fund; and, (b) be in the form, and according to the procedure, prescribed by an Act of Parliament.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like you to guide the House and the Minister as well that since this Act or a Bill to give effect to this Act has never been brought to this House, he should also be ordered to present this Bill so that we make a formal form in which those ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is within the mandate of the Minister to give policy direction to all departments within his Ministry. In view of the fact that this same Commission is supposed to investigate Kiplagat, is he satisfied that this is going to be effective? Is he satisfied that in so doing, it is going to give a sense of reconciliation to the victims; of what Kiplagat is accused of? view

• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. But my support is hinged on the fact that during the Committee of the whole House, I will endeavour to make several corrections. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, during that time, I will endeavour to restore Section 38 of the Sexual Offences Act, which this Bill is attempting to delete. I will also endeavour to restore the Industrial Court Act, which this Bill is trying to amend but, in the process, almost delete the entire Act. Also, during that stage, I intend to support my colleague ... view
